To al'Z whon lit may concern: A

Be it known that I, IsAAc K. BEAVER, a

`citizen of the United States, residing at Wilburton, in the county of Columbia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Valve, of which the following is a speci- ,ficatiorr` This invention relates to valves for use in pipe lines through which mineral waters and The primary object of the invention is to provide a valve having a lining which can be readily inserted thereinto or removed therefrom and which will protect the interior of the valve from the action of the liquid contents of the valve. t

Another object is to provide a detachable valve seat which is held in place without the necessity of screw threading theA seat and the casing, whichv threads are objectionable becauseof the fact that they corrode when subjected to the action of certain mineral waters and prevent the removal of the seat.

A still further object is to provide a valve which can be readily removed from the casing, the same being provided with a feed nut which is held in place within the casing without thenecessity of threading either the casing or the nut. v

A still further object is to provide a seat which is so located as to be conveniently dressed lor re aired without the necessity of removing it om the casing.

' With these and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel features 0f construction and combinations of parts which will be hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claims.

In theaccompanying drawing which is a section through the valve, the preferred form of the invention has been shown.

Referring to the drawing 1 is a valve casing formed of any suitable material such as cast viron and T-shaped so as to form arms 2,3 and 4. The outer end of each of these arms is `-fs-urrounded by an annular-flan e 5 formed with a plurality of openings for t e reception of securing bolts and the outer end of the arm 2 is countersunk as at 6 to receive an annulariiange 7 formed at the outer end of the'tubular valve seat 8; The inner end of c thisvalveseatis reduced annu'larly as shown at 9. A'lining 10 of wood or other material' capable of resisting the actionof the liquid contents of thevalve is placed Within the casing and the arms thereof, this lining being `of said flange. is enlarged annularly to form a head 28 and displacement by a ring 11 which yis clamped upon the iiange 5 of sald arm by bolts 12. Ay

gasket 13 is preferably interposed between the ring and t screw threaded as shown at 14 so as to engage the threaded end of a pipe. The valve seat 8 is held within the arm 2 by a ring 15 similar to the ring 11 and this is bolted to the fiange 5 of said arm and has a gasket 16 interposed between it and said flange. As the flange 7 of the valve seat overlaps one end of the lining said lining is prevented thereby from moving in one directlon. Movement of the lining in the opposite direction through the arm 3 is prevented by a ring 17 constituting' the valve lid and which is bolted to the iiange of arm 3. A gasket 18 of lead or of other soft metal is interposed between this ring and the adjoining end ofthe lining l0. The wall of the opening within the lid 17 is screw'threaded as shown at 19 and receives a circular fiange 20 extending from .one end of the bonnet 21 of th valve. This bonnet has a smooth bore 22 provided at one end with a gland 23 through which extends a stem 24. A wheel 25 is secured upon the outer end of this stem while that portion thereof normally Within the bonnet is enlarged and That portion` `of the lining within the arm 4 is held against e arm and lining and the wallof the aperture within the ring is preferably screw threaded as shown at 26. The threaded portion of the stem extends through and engages a feed nut 27 which engages the interior threads of the iiange 20 and la s the end The innerend of t e stem 26 the thread on the stem terminates short of this head so that a smooth surface is produced capable of rotating within a nut 29 having an inwardly extending and externally screw threaded circular iiange 30 agalnst which the head abuts. This iiange is screwed into a recessed disk 31 constituting a seat for the head 28 and extending from the center of the disk is a screw threaded stud 32. This stud projects through the center of a rubber disk 33 and a metal disk 34, said -disks being clamped tightly against the recessed disk 31 by means of a cap nut 35.

It will be apparent that by removing the 11 and either oigboth of the rings '15 and 17 the linin which has been `lst properly shaped can einserted into the caslng after Which the seat 8 is inserted and the rings 11 'and 15 bolted in place. The parts constituting the stem, feed, and holder 'are then assembled as shown and inserted into the arm 3, the vring 2O of the bonnet being screwed into the ring '17. After the arts have been put together in this manner t e disk 28 of the valve can be lowered against the valve seat 8 simply by rotatingthe stem 24. This will cause the threads on said stem to Work Within the feed nut 27 and the head 28 to rotate Within the recessed disk 31. Said disk and heretofore stated to rotate between them.

v'The lining of the valve is preferably formed can be'repaired Wit out the necessity-of removing it simply by detaching the lid 17 and lifting it and the from fthe casing..

- arts connected thereto l X suitable seat grinding tool can then be inserted into the casing and the dressing of the seat can be readily effected because of the fact that the` same is reduced in thickness as shown at 9. Although `rings 11 and 15 have been shown clam ed uplon the casing it is to be understood t at W ere castkron pi es are used the flanges of the ipes can rings.

t Will be seen that all of the parts of e substituted for these Y,

bopdyhof the casing Will be greatly prolonged.

at is claimed is: i

1'. The combination With a casingl havin a smooth straight bore therein, a valve seat e-v tachably mounted in one end of said. bore,

and means for holding said seat against displacement; of a lid clamped-'upon thecasing at the other end offthe.bore,`,a bonnet detachably connected to. and extending into the lid, a feed nutdetachablyfsecured,Within and i A, extending across the feed end of the bonnet,

a Vstem revolubly mounted Within thedoonnet and having a threaded portion engaging the feed nut, said 'stem having a head at one end,

a recessed disk constituting a seat for said head, a retaining nut extending into said disk for holding the head therein, a stud upon said disk, a resilient disk upon the stud, and (means for clamping the disks together.

2. A'valve' comprisinga casin having a smooth straight bore therein, a Iid detachably secured upon one end of the casing, a tubular lining msertibvle into said bore from one end and toward the lid, a tubular valve seat insertible into the lining at that end thereof farthest removed from the lid, said seat having an annular flange constituting an abutment for the lining, and a iiat ring clamped against the casing and lapping the flanged end vof the valve seat .to retain said seat andthe lining Within the casing.

In testimony that I claim the foregoingf'as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
